Newlyweds Living the Fantasy Trip Report
Newlyweds Living the Fantasy October 5th - 14th, 2012 Pre-cruise stay at The Hyatt Regency Orlando Daytona Blues Festival Eastern Caribbean Cruise aboard Disney’s Fantasy Post-cruise stay at Disney’s Beach Club Villa Food & Wine Festival Cirque du Soleil, La Nouba Warning:The content of this trip report may include heavy sarcasm, random side notes, spousal mockery, analytical view points, excessive use of smilies, useless rambling, useful rambling and extensive explanation of major as well as VERY minor details of said trip. Read at your own risk. It’s finally that time... it’s time to start our LIVE trip report!  So glad to be sharing it with all of you. For those of you who haven’t been onboard... see I already went and did it.  I used an expected cruise pun that I promised myself I wouldn’t ever do. Missed that vow to myself when naming the pre trip report! I digress. If you haven’t read our PTR and would like some intense background including where we live, where we work & photos of us, our dogs, our friends, among other things that freak out my paranoid hubby to have on the Internet, head on over to Newlyweds Living the FANTASY: 7 day Eastern PTR.I gotta say, that didn’t do it for me.  It’s not to say that I have doubts of my newfound DIS friends, but I don’t have the faith that you will indeed head on over to our PTR to read every waking detail of our life.  Soooo... I will now force you to read, cause we all know DISers are not capable of skimming  , a quick rundown of who we are.  I’m Lisa. Will be 27 on the 23rd of this month, NYer, watch my nephew full time, went to school for wedding planning, DVC member since I was 19 (bought as soon as I had an income), my 5th DCL cruise (10th total), been going to WDW since I was 3, once won a car, but was only 15 so I was disqualified, huge NY Met fan (sigh), shy with new people, life of the party with friends/fam, travel blog writer, sarcastic (unknowingly at times), anxiety issues (ask about my first snorkeling experience), have traveled to 42 US states, most of the caribbean, Ireland, Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, Canada, Egypt, Israel (twice) & a layover in Germany. Also, you should know I have a serious obsession with cheeseburgers & ironing. I iron EVERYTHING.   My hubby Matt, 33 years old, works in building automation (see PTR for explanation), Jersey guy who gets offended at the mention of Jersey Shore, Yankee fan (boo!! hiss!!)  , 1 prior cruise 17 years ago (remembers basically nothing of it), one trip to WDW before our wedding (I ain’t marrying a guy who hasn’t passed the WDW vaca test), has traveled to Canada, Antigua, Brazil & Puerto Rico, has a very silly side, VERY outgoing, adventurous, married his dream girl 5 months ago,  does not at all mind wearing wrinkled clothes, also enjoys a good burger, drives a motorcycle, snacks just before meals  and only makes one trip at buffets, therefore has a ginormous pyramid of food that at times can not be identified. Together we have two dogs, my Yorkie, Rocky (who is a girl despite her name) she is 10 years old and still as feisty as ever. She weighs a whopping 4.5 lbs. And then there’s Bania, yes, it’s from Seinfeld, also a girl despite the name, what can I say? We like to confuse people. She’s 5 months old and already 40 lbs. She’s an Olde English Bulldogge, which if you’ve never heard of them, they’re basically a Boxer & an English Bulldog put together. Much taller & healthier than the regular bulldog. The story of how Bania came into our lives can be found in our PTR, but in short, Matt has an awesome wife. Pics also on PTR.  As you should have picked up by now, Matt & I just got married May 5th. It was a dream wedding that we feel so unbelievably blessed to have had.  Our wedding was featured in Style Me Pretty as well as it is about to be published in Westchester Magazine’s 2013 wedding issue. We are blown away. All credit goes to our incredible photographers. If you would like to read the article & see some pics on Style Me Pretty head on over to http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/09...s-photography/. That’s it. I vow to not mention our wedding again. Now that the business side of this trip report is over, let’s get to the real reason you’re all here... our Disney cruise!!!  We will be flying out Friday night after work & staying at the Hyatt at the airport. I will be posting a live trip report each day of the trip both here & on my travel blog. This will be my 4th live trip report so yes, I do know what I’m getting myself into. It’s a lot but it’s my favorite part of the trip. If I wait until I’m home, it never gets finished.  So I hope you enjoy this trip report & make sure to say hello.  Also, if you want any info while I’m onboard or at F&WF feel free to ask & I’ll do my best to find the answer, within reason.

Looking forward to the report! My husband and I met on a trip to Israel. I'm thinking if you've been there twice, you should maybe know how to spell it now though!

Congrats to you!!! Try and enjoy every moment. Don't stress...if things go wrong only you will know. Have an awesome wedding day & an incredibly relaxing honeymoon. Hope you enjoy the trip report & it works as a relaxing escape from the wedding crazy. Quote:
I always vowed I'd never marry a Yankee fan... I wanted to be a double threat & marry a Red Sox fan. So yeah, he definitely is a great guy to have change this hardened baseball heart. Thanks & welcome!
